    As for Toney and Jones Jr, Eubank would of outpointed both of them on the same night if he used his stiff jab and Pre-Watson Eubank would of stopped them both on the same night. I'm not talking about what Eubank did do in the Post-Watson days, because we all know that he completed wasted himself and was a total prat who barely threw 10 punches a round.. preening and posing through fights.
    Eubank hadnt fought all that many good fighteter post watson. He lost the first watson fight anyways.

    dont get me wrong - i have huge respect for eubank, but he simply wasnt as good as u saying

      The reason why Collins beat Eubank was because of the "hypnosis" playing on Eubank's mind. Eubank also had him badly hurt in the 10th round but he didn't finish him because he thought he would kill him.

      Eubank was a very good boxer but he wasn't the power punching animal that you portray him to be. If he had mental stability and wasn't such a sideshow act he could of been one of the best ever.

        Well no he wasn't, he was often a borderline joke Post-Watson. I'm talking about what he could of been, and how much he had in reserve (tonnes)!

        As for the first Watson fight, Eubank won five of the first six rounds quite clearly in my eyes if I remember, then Eubank's lack of stamina came into play I admit.. but Watson didn't quite do enough.

              JuyJuy maybe you have the answer as to why Eubank didn't take his career seriously? If he didn't really care about boxing why did he even become a boxer? He was a total waste, the man had loads of potential and could of accomplished much more then he did.

                  Eubank admitted time and again he was only in the sport for the money. I think the Benn fight took a lot out of him and the Watson fight was the final straw.

                      I know Danny from back in the day, I don't think he was a ****** back then. I used to watch him spar, I was always told that he was the next big thing. He certainly did look damn good in his early pro career, but the guys head is all over the place.. he lacks confidence in my opinion.
